the DSR-60 to playback video programs immediately upon
turning the power switch on.
RGB and Y/R-Y/B-Y for
High Picture Quality Video Presentation
The DSR-80 and the DSR-60 are ideally suited for an RGB
environment, such as large-screen, high-quality video
presentations and computer environments. This is because
RGB signals can be converted into Y/R-Y/B-Y component
signals with minimum picture degradation.
With the RGB/Component Out switch set to RGB, the DSR-80
and the DSR-60 supply high-quality RGB signals, while the
DSR-80 also accepts input signals.
Closed Caption Function
The DSR-80 and the DSR-60 have a closed caption function
which reproduces the program with the recorded signal on the
video area as video auxiliary data. Furthermore, the DSR-80
can record character data on the video area.
User Friendly Operation
Ease of Initial Set-up for Convenient Operation
The DSR-80 and the DSR-60 have an initial setup menu
system. The setup menu is programmed in the form of a layer
structure. By simply going through the menu using the
subcontrol panel, users can easily initialize the VTR. This setup
menu allows many detailed operational parameters to be
preset. Once the menu is set, the DSR-80 and the DSR-60 will
memorize the options and retain them in memory even after the
power is turned off. By using these memorized set-up
parameters, the
DSR-80 and the
DSR-60 can be
immediately set
up for a specific
application.
Built-in Character Generator
The DSR-80 and the DSR-60 have a built-in character
generator which superimposes characters on the video signal
output from the VIDEO OUT 2 terminal. The time code data
(TC, User bit), VTR operation status, menu items, and all alarm,
warning, and error messages can be shown on a monitor.
Legible Front Panel Display
The DSR-80 and the DSR-60 have a large, highly visible
display on their front panels. This display shows a variety of
information such as audio and video input mode, normal/high-
speed modes. ClipLink data and cassette memory status can
also be displayed.
Consumer DV Playback
The DSR-80 and the DSR-60 have the capability to playback
consumer DV cassettes, thus enabling broader acquisition
program material to be used without the need for a special
adapter. Jog Audio and Digital Slow functions can still be used.
Therefore, the DV recordings can be used as editing sources in
the editing environment.
* The DSR-80 and the DSR-60 do not support LP mode of the consumer DV.
Reliable, Responsive and
Serviceable
The DSR-80 and the DSR-60 were designed with a highly
responsive mechanism, which is an essential factor for efficient
editing operation. In addition, maintaining excellent responsive
performance, the DSR-80 and the DSR-60 offer ease of
servicing and maintenance by incorporating self-diagnostics,
an error log and hours meter.
Quick Responsive Mechanism
The DSR-80 and the DSR-60 assure high reliability in all
professional applications through U-loading, direct reel drive,
and an electronic tension servo. The FF/REW speeds are
impressive 85x, while maximum search speed is 32x with color
playback.
Self-Diagnostics and Error Log
Should an error be detected, an error message will be
displayed which will identify the problem area. In this way,
down-time can be minimized. Moreover, the error log function
makes it easier to detect the error by retaining the past status
data of the DSR-80 and the DSR-60 in memory.
Hours Meter
An hours meter is also built-in to assure simplified
maintenance by showing total operating time, drum rotation
time, transport operation time, and number of thread/unthread
operations. This information can be shown on a monitor screen
and the front panel display of the unit.
Appealing, Simple, Design
The attractive and functional appearance of the DSR-80 and
the DSR-60 has evolved through many years of experience. It
was designed to complement the Sony EditStation systems and
other Sony equipment for heightened esthetics demanded by
creative professionals. The DSR-80 and the DSR-60 are four
units high and are EIA standard 19-inch rack mountable with
Sony’s optional RMM-130 Rack Mount Kit.
